Bazaraki and Spitogatos list large volumes of rentals across all districts, and many landlords advertise directly so an agent fee can often be avoided
Furnished apartments are widely available and popular with newcomers, allowing a quick move-in
Universal GHS/GeSY covers personal doctors, specialists, hospital care, pharmacies, A&E and ambulance for enrolled legal residents
Very low unmet medical needs (under 1%) across all income levels per OECD/Observatory 2025

Watch out for

Most homes completed after 1999 fall outside the Rent Control Law, so tenant protections depend largely on what the contract states - read it carefully before signing
Expect to pay the first month's rent plus a deposit (commonly one month, but often up to two months for furnished or shorter lets), and possibly an agent's commission, upfront
A nomad or short-stay foreigner cannot use the public GHS: enrolment requires legal residence in the government-controlled areas plus a qualifying basis (employment, permanent-residence status, family of a beneficiary, refugee/supplementary-protection status, or insurance in another EU state)
Tourists and temporary visitors must rely on private care and private or travel health insurance
